Not at all.

So what? What's the big deal of releasing a new version with just one quick change? Marcello made a mistake, this seems to be the quickest way to solve it in an unambiguous manner.
Who cares how fast the kernel version number moves up, or for what reason?
I can see your point of view as well, but I still think your arguement that "they should know what they are doing" is bogus.
But hey, whatever Marcello thinks is fine by me.
